Huzzah! I finally got caught back up to the bind off of the dreaded Chroma Cowl!!! I found out I missed a few more than just 2 stitches when I put the lifeline in last night (I ran it through the stitches below apparently) but I got them all picked back up and re-knitted!!! I'm awfully proud of myself just for getting that much fixed!!! After I give the kiddos their bath and get Emmers in bed, I will attempt bind off again. I appreciate all the help from you all!

And an FYI. I returned the WIP shirt today and found buried in the "shop" discussion board on ravelry that the shirt is actually not a maternity shirt. It is just a long "stretchy" regular shirt that they have decided to call a maternity shirt. Just wanted to let you all know in case you were tempted to get one, but actually have a belly when pregnant. Would have been a nice note to put on the shirt page actually because I wouldn't have ordered it. Frustration over, now just waiting on the refund.

So who is going to take this idea and actually run with it? Actually make and sell real true WIP maternity shirts? Someone should cash in on this!

Umm, I eat around the clock when I'm pregnant. Like, Alaina wakes up at 2am for a bottle, and I'm snacking on a granola bar.

Hate to say it, but you probably won't get much knitting done during the 3 hours. I'd suggest taking your pillow instead. I remember when I had to do the 3 hour with DS, I took the computer and a book thinking I'd do some word processing and read... but right after the 1 hour mark, my eyes started going so fuzzy I couldn't read clearly, got dizzy and headaches and ended up just putting my head over and napping the last 2 hours. And I did end up passing the test just fine, so those symptoms weren't because I had GD at all.
